Homeschooling Resources and Tips

Looking for some homeschooling resources and tips that will encourage and help you on your journey? Whether you’re new to homeschooling or you’ve been doing it for years, we could all use a little encouragement!

In this post, you’ll find a series for beginning homeschoolers, a view of our homeschooling room, homeschool hacks, my homeschool lesson planner, homeschool teaching methods and styles, and homeschool curriculum choices.

Homeschooling was something I said I would “never ever” do, but God had other plans for my family that started with my firstborn who had learning differences.

Maybe you can relate. Maybe you also said “never ever,” but find yourself homeschooling anyway. Welcome!

Homeschooling Resources & Tips

If you have questions about the beginnings of homeschooling, I have two series for you: Homeschooling Tips & Tricks Series {So, You Want to Homeschool} and Yes! You Can Homeschool {the rest of this series is coming November of 2021.}

Both of these series cover things like getting started with homeschooling, being creative in your homeschool, discovering your child’s learning style, picking the “right” curriculum, and debunking the myths of having kids that are unsocialized. I hope you enjoy going through these series as much as I enjoyed creating them!

Of course, you’ll love the thousands of free printables you can find right here on my blog. These are perfect for homeschoolers. They’ve all been kid-tested here at my house!

You DO NOT have to have a dedicated schoolroom to homeschool, but we do. {There have been years where we’ve used the kitchen table just as much as our schoolroom.}

Here’s our most recent homeschool room tour {from 2020}. I also have a tour of our schoolroom from 2014-2015. If you’re anything like me, you love to have a peek at how others organize and arrange things. This is your chance!

We also have several Homeschool Hacks that can save you time or help you get things organized.

Homeschool Lesson Planner

Did you know that we have a homeschool planner just for you? It’s available in BOTH landscape and portrait formats. If you want a peak inside, be sure to check out the preview in my blog’s shop! Buy it once and get the updates every year! {This is our 2020-2021 planner pictured below.}

Homeschool Teaching Methods & Resources

If you want to learn more about the most common homeschool teaching methods & resources, you’ll enjoy this post.

It describes each of the seven methods plus gives links to resources where you can find curriculum that matches each particular method. The homeschooling styles include eclectic {the most common}, Montessori, classical, Waldorf, Charlotte Mason, Unit Study, and unschooling.
